[for-next][PATCH 11/18] ring-buffer: Incorporate absolute timestamp into add_timestamp logic

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jul 02 2020 - 17:59:21 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of calling out the absolute test for each time to check if the
ring buffer wants absolute time stamps for all its recording, incorporate it
with the add_timestamp field and turn it into flags for faster processing
between wanting a absolute tag and needing to force one.
